Where are you going in life? Do you know? I don't think any of us really knows where we will end up. We are all obviously going to die, but before that what will we do before we get there?
What kind of legacy will you leave behind? The point of this topic is basically that the destination is unimportant, it's about continually moving forward in life and continually reaching small destinations on the way. You start off just learning how to grow up, you take small baby steps forward learning how to walk and talk learning as you go, and you continually do that until you are a young adult, at this point it has been kind of exciting to see what life has to offer but at some point you stumble and get yourself stuck at your first real destination and you can't see a direction to move in.
This is the most important part of your next destination, you have to take a step out of where your stuck at, even if you are scared of what will happen, and then you have to take another and yet another and you keep doing this even if you keep stumbling because eventually you will get out, and you will be moving forward again. Don't give up, because it's too hard, because you tell yourself you can't do it, because no one believes in you. These are all excuses you tell yourself that prevents you from taking the next step. It is nice to have encouragement but the only person who needs to believe in you, is you.
All the experiences in your life will mold you into who you are and who you will be, and the more experiences you have can only make you better as long as you learn something from each one. Its' not about where you stop and rest, its about what you experienced before you got there and what else you will find when you leave.
Its not about where your going but how you get there, its about taking that first step out of your comfort zone and continually moving forward.

Changes and Inspiration
I have been in a few relationships and not all of them are the same, you have relationships with your spouse, with your friends, your family, co-workers, children and all of them are different except for one thing. You. You are the same for all of them, you decide when to be nice, when to be mean, when to show up or be on time. You decide if you are going to be a good friend, or a bad one, A good mate or bad. You get the point...or do you? We have all been in some sort of relationship and sometimes you meet someone who wants to change who you are, or maybe you are the person who wants someone else to change.
I'm going to let you in on a little secret, the only person you can change is yourself. You cannot force someone else to change. You can try guilt trips, nagging, anger, crying, threats, pleading and probably a bunch of other things I cant think of right now. But the bottom line is you can only change yourself. Here is an example: Lets say you have a friend who is constantly late for everything, and you have tried everything to get them to be on time but nothing works and you are sick of it but don't know what to do. Since you can't change them, you have a choice not to rely on them for anything and if they show up at your next party, great! You can choose to not be friends with them at all anymore and that might make you feel bad but if they can't put the effort into a relationship then why should you? Here is another example: Your significant other doesn't help you do anything, and you have gotten into quite a few fights over this issue in the past and you don't know how to fix it. You can decide at that moment that you don't need help and you can do it all yourself, Once you have done that and committed that thought to your actions there would be no reason to argue. OR, you can get out of that relationship and find someone that IS very helpful.
I know that there is compromise and that happens a lot in relationships but when there is no compromise and no answers and you know that you are not going to change the other person's mind then its up to you to change things in yourself, because that is who you have direct control of.
I understand that these are hard choices to make but there is some light at the end of the tunnel.
While you cannot forcibly change someone, you can inspire them to change. The challenge here is how do you inspire someone? I would have to say with positivity and by leading by example. When you inspire someone else it's usually because you are doing it for yourself and not for them, a good example of this is when someone you know does something successful, and gets acknowledgement from complete strangers. I have thought, oh wow maybe I can do something like that too. I play a lot of guitar and if I see an amazing performance on guitar it inspires me to practice and get better. I'm sure a lot of us have seen a motivational poster on Facebook, and some of them actually are really inspiring! The thing with inspiration is that you have to relate to it on a personal level.
I was inspired to start this blog because I could relate to a character in the movie: Julie & Julia.

DATING SITE RULES
If you are like me and had a long relationship at one point and it ended, or if you just haven't found that one person who is right for you to begin with, I'm here to give you a few ideas if you are on a dating site or if you are thinking about using a dating site.
First off, Dating sites are ruthless, there are people on there who just want sex, some are liars and cheats, others are on there just to see how many people they can interested in them and some are married spouses cheating on their mates. But here is some good news, if you are on a dating site and you are a generally good person, there is a really good chance that there is someone else exactly like you on that site that would be a perfect match for you. Now... How to find them.
I met my wife on a dating site, even though at the time I did not think it was possible. Here is what I did.
1. Be honest:
When I say honest I mean with everything, Your pictures should be of the current you, not one ten years ago. If someone asks you a personal question, give an honest answer and don't skirt the issue. If you are a smoker say you are one or if you have kids say how many, for example.
2. Write and type like an adult:
If you write like an autistic 2 year old just because it takes the least amount of effort what sort of mate do think that's going to attract. It just makes you look stupid.
3. Look like you normally do on a daily basis:
Jeans and a T-shirt, blouse and skirt, camouflage all the time, whatever. Those are the pictures that you need to have. Don't dress up in a suit and tie or in an evening gown. If you ever plan on meeting the other person it will go a long way in validating your profile.
4. Know what you are looking for:
This one is hard because its not something we really think about a lot.
For the first year of online dating I had no idea what I was looking for, all that mattered to me at the time was that they were attractive and interested in me. After a year of failed dates and crappy experiences I had to rethink my strategy. I didn't know what I was looking for and it took me a while to figure it out. Here is basically what I did to figure it out. My Ideal woman had to be attractive to me, had to have her own job and vehicle, had to have grown up outside the city on an acreage or farm, had to have a little bit of a bad side (can't be a goody two shoes)
had to have a good sense of humor and had to be a smoker. That's what I came up with and if I met a girl with that criteria then she was who I started to go for. Let me say this in my defense, it was very slim pickings and it took 2 more years after I decided my criteria to meet her But it was a much more enjoyable 2 years because I set up more rules for myself.
5. Be confident, not cocky, don't be a pushover
When I say be confident, it means when you state something, stick to it if you really meant it or morally uphold that ideal. Do not let anyone take that from you and stand up for what you believe in. You loved the show "Facts of Life" while growing up. Someone will tease you for that, let them, but defend what you loved about that show and the other person might see that you are no pushover. Don't take back what have stated (unless it was an insult) don't go back on your word and always be nice about it. I talked with a girl who was very unsure about me, and when she finally started talking to me online she said she didn't like cowboy hats, so in my stupidity I took it off my profile and told her I did. She instantly stopped the conversation and blocked me. What I should have did was explained to her that I was not into cowboys but wore a cowboy hat to a party one night just to be different, I got so many compliments on it that I decided to wear it more often. Which is the plain honest truth.
6.KISS (K-eep i-t s-imple s-tupid)
OK, so you have been chatting online and you have decided to finally meet, Do not go for supper, even though you want to make a good impression, instead go for coffee even if you don't drink coffee. Here is why, say you do meet and you find out the other person has not been honest with their profile, do you want to spend a few hours in a restaurant with someone who has clearly lied to you? Of course not. On the other side if you do really click in person while on your coffee date you can always ask to go some place else, to dinner for example. If you don't click you can have a 5 minute conversation enjoy your coffee and then explain that there is no chemistry on your end and you can leave shortly thereafter feeling relieved that you didn't waste the time on someone you are not interested in.
7.Warning Signs
If your person of interest starts out conversations or asks you to divulge any indication on how much money you make, what kind of vehicle you drive, if you own your own home, or refuses to go for coffee, saying that dinner is more appropriate..ect. All these thing have no bearing on who you are. Keep in mind these sort of questions may come up later but not when first chatting with someone.
Other tips:
How to start an opening statement to someone you are interested in.
Start with "Warning Do Not Open" "Contents may be hot" "Read this at your own risk"
These opening statements just stand out more than the usual "Hi how ya doing"
Hopefully this helps someone.

Just Google It
Say you have a bunch of friends sitting around a table and someone says" Who was that guy in that movie?" Suddenly everyone whips out their cell phones to look for the answer. I'm sure almost all of us has been in a scenario like that and my question is why is it that most people use their phones for this reason but not for other more important issues. If you are on Facebook (and I'm sure most of us are) you will see ridiculous claims on the posts people put up. Eating five lemons a day will cure cancer, rub corn starch and peanut butter on your face to cure acne, pinching a spot on your finger will stop a migraine. Seriously these are all really crazy farfetched ideas that nobody seems to research but people take them as fact and post them on their pages. It makes them (In my opinion) look like idiots and after reading it, I can't take anything they put on there seriously. Honestly just take some time to research that crazy claim before you go ahead and spout it to the world as truth. The same goes for ridiculous pictures... Look at this house cat that weighs 400 pounds, A picture of bigfoot in downtown Los Angeles, Aliens caught raiding our doghouse. It just blows me away that this sort of garbage gets put on the web and people believe it. I have a friend who was upset with his kids because the dishwater wasn't soapy enough, I asked him " What do you think dish soap actually does?" He replied " It disinfects germs and stuff." I'm not going to say what I found out with a little research. That's for you dear reader to check out. When and if you do, go to multiple sites and get a consensus on the answer, you might be surprised.

Prisons
I recently watched a documentary on prisons, and I have to say why do we even need this sort of punishment? For small crimes its like living at a hotel where you can't leave for a while. There's a TV a weight room, three square meals a day, outdoor activities and programs for schooling with courses. For larger crimes its basically the same thing with a few more rules and not as nice conditions. This is what our tax dollars is going towards? I don't want a murderer to have a nice stay even if it is for life, instead I want to see criminals working at something miserable, say a rock quarry with pickaxes and wheelbarrows with metal wheels. The majority of these criminals often come out worse than before they went in, they learn different tricks from other criminals they befriend, or they get beat up everyday and the get released hating everybody and everything and soon end up right back in prison or die.
Why not stick them in a special division in the army where they have to serve their sentence and then have the option to stay if they want? That way they would learn some discipline, work ethic and how to work as a team. These would be the soldiers that take the front line, walk the minefields and get sent into battle first leaving troops that haven't committed crimes to come in after as backup. The army has ways of breaking people down and then building them back up. Tax payers still pay but at least this way the money would be better spent and the criminal would benefit society and they also might be better people once their sentence is over.
That's my opinion for the day

Who you are really Spoiling
Most of us have sat at our desired place of comfort, with our treat of choice, only to look down at those cute little furry animals that we love as they look back at us with those big eyes full of of hope and expectation. I'm weak, I give in sometimes and break off a piece of my arrowroot baby cookie (Don't judge me) and feed it to my little animal. (dogs in my case). I don't mind doing it but I am careful not to feed them something that is not good for them such as almond or chocolate and I don't do it all the time. When is it too much? When I see an animal that is clearly overweight or starts begging aggressively its time to stop that sort of behavior or abuse. It IS abuse, if are constantly giving your pet treats all day and they can barely walk because of it, it means you are doing some serious damage to that animal and they don't know any better but you do or you should. I've heard the excuses, But they love it, but I love them so much, it doesn't harm them. Let me say that this problem isn't just with pets but with children too.
Why do you spoil your pet or child? Claiming that its out of love is a weak and poor excuse, I think the real reason is because it brings you joy and makes you feel good, perhaps more than the person or animal that you are spoiling. It is true that doing the right thing is harder than not doing it, and it is easier to just give in than it is to set boundaries and enforce them. The little people and pets in our lives deserve to have those boundaries put in place because they don't know any better and we as adults do. The results of spoiling a child are far worse than any animal as well as it develops right into their adult life. So the next time your child or pet looks up at you with those big beautiful eyes of theirs don't give in, instead play a game with them, get them moving, turn it into something fun because I'm sure there is a healthy way to spoil your loved ones that doesn't involve food. The only problem now would be to get your lazy spoiled butt off the couch to do it.

Common Sense, Common Courtesy
Does it seem like people in this world have less common sense in this day and age? I remember last year, watching a guy trim his hedges by holding up his push lawnmower while it was running, I drove by a woman texting on her phone, eating something, and steering with her knee and I saw a worker on the side of an apartment sitting on a piece of 2x4 that was laid between 2 scaffolds with no harness hardhat or gloves cutting a different piece of of wood across his legs with a skill-saw. How about a worker in a fast food chain pushing the sugar button for a coffee and no sugar is coming out, they did this for about five different coffees before someone complained and a manager had to show her that the machine was empty. Doesn't anyone think for themselves anymore?
I don't know about you but I let people in if they are signaling while I'm driving, I open doors for people, I make sure my shopping cart is out of the way in my lane so others can pass, I wait my turn if I need assistance from someone who is helping someone else, and I'm always aware if I am in the way and if not I apologize and move. This is a common courtesy that I think everyone should follow, however this is not the case, I've seen so many people lost in their own world they bump into other people, sneak into lines, interrupt others while they are talking and act as if they are the most important person on the planet. I think its getting worse with cell phones and technology, all you have to do is look up once and a while and see the world around you.
That it for today folks:

Hope for our future? Reverse ageing
What are you really scared of? Monsters, terrorists, murderers, dying? These types of things don't worry me at all, what I'm really scared of is getting old, so old that I can't walk anymore, I lose my motor skills and my ability to hear and see, my skin hangs off my body as it slowly degenerates, my mind looses all memory and anyone I love becomes a stranger and I'm left to live like that. That... is some scary stuff, but maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and maybe that fate can be reversed.
I caught wind of an article a quite few years ago which I thought was amazing and hopeful, it basically stated that ageing could be reversed so that a 70 year old man could be reverted biologically back to a 30 year old. I don't normally take such claims seriously without a whole bunch of scientific evidence to back it up, but as the years passed there have been more and more breakthroughs on this research, right up to the point where I'm actually getting hopeful.
Here is a link:https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320017.php
One of the tests scientists performed, was on a mouse, on administering a peptide to fast-aging mice in regular doses, the researchers were able to reverse age-related conditions, such as fur loss and poor kidney health.
By blocking FOXO4 with the peptide, the research team has been able to restore programmed cell death, or apoptosis, in senescent cells.Within 10 days, the fast-aging mice began to experience fur regrowth. After 3 weeks, the naturally aged mice began to see improvements in fitness, compared with mice that did not receive the peptide.
Now this is on mice, which are not human and vastly different, but the link I provided states that scientists have started trying the same sort of technique on human cells. This technology could happen in our lifetime and I have to say I am hopeful at best.
Here is looking to the future with hope.

Love at first sight?
Do you think we use the word love too loosely? I think we do, and when someone tells me "it was love at first sight." I scoff. I believe you can be infatuated with someone at first sight, lust after someone at first sight, but love? How can you claim to love someone when you don't know them? Everyone puts on their best face, their nicest person when meeting other people for the first time. You don't know who that person really is until you have spent quite a bit of time getting to know them, their past, how they were raised, their values. I agree with this link: https://www.marriage.com/advice/love/the-true-meaning-of-love-in-a-relationship/
Despite the phrase “it was love at first sight”, love is not something we feel right away. That strong feeling of attraction, like a magnet pulling you towards that person you’ve just met? That’s infatuation and sexual chemistry. Mother nature gives us a big dose of infatuation in order to get us together initially. Love does include sexual chemistry but it differs because it is an emotion that takes time to build. Lust can appear in an instant; love evolves over a period of time as you get to know the other person inside and out.
If you can't stand to be away from the person you claim you love and it drives you crazy not knowing where they are or what they are doing, that is not love, its a crazy, dangerous, jealousy infused possessive relationship and you should probably get professional psychological help.
My wife can go and do whatever she wants, and I encourage her to do so. A trip to the states with your sister for a week? Have fun honey, make sure you bring back some good cheese and wine. Why? Because I love and trust her completely, and I want her to be as happy as possible and enjoy life.
That's my thoughts for today hope you enjoyed.

My wife can go and do whatever she wants, and I encourage her to do so. A trip to the states with your sister for a week? Have fun honey, make sure you bring back some good cheese and wine. Why? Because I love and trust her completely, and I want her to be as happy as possible and enjoy life.
That's my thoughts for today hope you enjoyed.

Exercise and fat Loss
I was on YouTube and I can not remember the video I was watching, but it was a ted talks about exercise and weight loss. The primary focus was calorie burning, and from what I understood about the video was that if you want to maintain the weight you already have or to lose a little each day all you have to do is burn off more than you take in. Here is an article I found on : https://healthyliving.azcentral.com/normal-calorie-burn-exercising-17347.html
"A primarily sedentary person is one who doesn't exercise and performs only the activities of daily life, such as showering, light chores and walking around the house or office. An adult man who is 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 154 pounds and is between 19 and 30 years old, burns about 2,400 to 2,600 calories daily. Between the ages of 31 to 50 years, this average man burns 2,200 to 2,400 calories daily and after age 51, between 2,000 and 2,200 calories daily. A woman who is 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 126 pounds burns 1,800 to 2,000 calories daily when between the ages of 19 and 30 years. From ages 31 to 50, this burn rate averages about 1,800 calories daily and decreases to 1,600 calories per day after age 51."
What this tells me is basically I can eat whatever I like, but I just have to moderate how much I take in, and if I do over eat, all I have to do is be a little more active the next day or a few days after. I have seen exercise plans and diets to try but this little tidbit of information makes logical sense and everyone already does it. Isn't it nice to know that the next time you are binge watching your favorite show that you are burning some calories while you do it? I think that now I will put some chips in a bowl and leave the bag in the cupboard.
Food for Thought people!!

Lies, Honestly...
Do you tell lies? I do, and I'm pretty sure the rest of us do as well. We do it as an excuse for compassion, and we lie to ourselves that its for noble intentions. Some lies are for saving the feelings of another. If I meet someone who already has low self esteem and they are wearing an ugly outfit that they are clearly proud of, and they ask me if they look good, I would probably wouldn't say yes but instead offer up some solutions so they look a little better. I can honestly say that I would prefer the truth if I were that person. I want to be told that I look like a fool, or I'm being stupid, or that I have an unusually long hair growing out of my ear, that I'm getting fat, and my wife's most hated comment, you look tired. You can say that I'm mean or have no feelings but I really believe the world would be a better place if we all used an honest approach to all things human. My exception to the rule comes in the way of children, I often get asked from a child if I like their drawing or coloring and I always say yes, even if its awful, because I want them to continue and get better at it. I understand that they haven't fully developed their skills yet. Adults should have it figured out by now.
You don't have to mean about it, there are ways to give someone honest feedback with a positive attitude, on the same token sometimes some people are so lost in their own world that they need a reality check so a little rudeness is a good thing. My life has been better since I started putting this into practice. The people in my life know where I stand with most topics, and often come to me for advice when they want an honest opinion on their issue. Being more honest brings more respect , raises your own self esteem, builds confidence and in turn makes your life more enjoyable, so go out there and be more honest and remember a lie is only good if it helps others and not yourself.

Drivers
If you are a driver like I am then I'm sure that maybe sometimes you may exceed the posted speed limit but you know that there are consequences to your actions and you might get a ticket. Im fine with that part of driving but what I'm not fine with, is when I'm driving the speed limit and someone is driving way below it. How many of us have been doing a hundred on a single lane highway, only to catch up with someone driving eighty (kilometers here in Canada) . This scenario is almost more dangerous than speeding in my opinion. Now you have a group of people trapped behind someone and pass unsafely most of the time. I live on a single lane highway and I can tell you I have had my life flash before my eyes on numerous occasions from people passing unsafely. Why don't people who drive slow get ticketed as well? (And lets take all driving conditions into account and say yes there is a time when you should slow down fog, weather..ect) A nice sunny day and someone is doing 15 kms under the speed limit. Lets give them a ticket!
Thats my thought of the day, whats yours?

Light speed
I have been reading science articles for a while now, and everyone seems to agree that the speed of light is the top speed of the universe. I did some research of my own and came to the conclusion that it actually is not the top speed, the area around the black hole called the event horizon pulls light into it and the jet that shoot out of it also is faster than light. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
The start
Have you ever had a passion to talk about a subject that none of your
friends or co-workers really understand? Many times I have tried to talk
about science, technology, psychology, are just a few in my mind that
would love some accompanied discussion from... well anyone really. Since
this is my first post I'd like to say I have no idea what I'm doing or
where this is going but what the hell you don't know unless you try
right? I have no specific topic in mind, but I do tend to lean strongly
in the direction of science and logic, fact over fiction. I am also a
dreamer inventor, ( dreams of inventions I will probably never build but
totally think they would work. Ha Ha!) So, I intend to get my thoughts
out in this form from day to day if I can. Since this is my first blog I
will say a little about myself, I'm 44 I am married to a fantastic wife
named Kim, we have no children due to biological problems, we are in
the adoption process. I am a level 2 diamond wrap technician, level 4
power engineer, and an arborist, I have worked at a lot of other jobs
ranging from concrete to construction and grew up on comic books,
playboy, and popular science.
